At CyberOptics, we believe that process engineers should be process engineers and that we should be the vision engineers.

The Flex system has a simple programming paradigm which avoids the programmer having to learn complex vision rules and model anything (component, solder joint, hand placed, odd form, connector, screw etc) using the same single technique.

As can be seen from the results of recent head to head evaluations, the Flex is fast to program, quick to tune and out-performs other AOI systems within hours of being installed.

Variation in the appearance of objects is the biggest hurdle in successfully deploying any vision system. Ultra high resolution images such as those that are needed to perform component or solder joint inspection only compound the problem since the higher the resolution, the more visible variation becomes.

CyberOptics is the leading supplier of third generation vision, going beyond first generation algorithms and second generation classifiers. The robust SAM™ technology, introduced to the SMT market in 1997, is now used on hundreds of lines worldwide. Competitive systems have been slow to see the benefits of characterizing variation and are only now starting to roll out their own responses.

Using CyberOptics patented SAM™ software, Flex can inspect full measurement pre-oven or full solder joint inspection post-solder, understanding process variation and discriminating against real, unwanted variation.
